The future of payments is here! 🚀

Bitcoin’s 10-minute block confirmations make it unfeasible for everyday payments—until now. We’ve been working hard to bring you the latest innovations in decentralized payments!

Ok, finalized #ATmosphereConf venue.

Thanks @sal.td for your help in making this happen at UW, and @rekmarks.com for all your work in on the ground in Seattle venue research.

This low cost venue frees up funds for travel support.
OK, ***venue update*** #ATmosphereConf

We have space at the University of Washington! We'll be in Oak Hall with a big room for the main talks and livestreaming, and some nearby rooms for breakouts.

We'll message folks and post more about the surroundings soon!

as a snapjaw I do not like to brag (ahem), but we believe Caves of Qud is a novel work of language-driven science fiction, and that it should be considered for the 2025 Nebula Award for Best Game Writing!!
Nebula nominations close in ONE week. I'm here to reminder you that Caves of Qud is eligible for Best Game Writing.

If you're an SFWA member, get a game code + more info here www.sfwa.org/forum/forum/...
